My maternal great-grandmother was Winifred (Pugh) born around December 1858 Co. Sligo (?),County Cork, Ireland . When she was 14 she left Ireland with her older brother(John?)during the potato famine. She lived in San Francisco and married Thomas Joseph Hennessy (sp?) and they had 7 children many who died at birth or early age.
Winifred later married John W. Ashby and they lived in Corte Madera, Marin Co., CA. They had no children and both died in Nov. of 1934.
A daughter Marie Hennessy (sp?) married John J. Pugh and they had at least one son, John J. Pugh, Jr., and 2 daughters.
John J. Pugh, Jr., was born 1909 and died 1978 in Fairfax,Marin Co., CA.
I'm looking for any information on Winifred's ancestors, her brother/other siblings, and Marie and John Pugh's descendants.
